Phoenix

A high-flying executive (Gaetano Jones) deserts his petulant LA surfer boy (Chad Bartley) to salvage a business deal in Arizona; the clinging, naive lover follows him and discovers that he has a long-term romantic partner (Jeff Castle), a muscular but sensitive chef who dabbles in pottery. Unsurprisingly the two wronged men fall for each other, but their affair is so angst ridden I wanted them to just snap out of it. Michael Akers, formerly Martin Short's personal assistant, directed this lugubrious video. 90 min.
